Menjar rajoles?

‘Menjar rajoles?’ (‘Shall we eat bricks?’) is a temporary installation for the Miradors de l’Horta 2025 festival organised by Turisme Carraixet. Is the vegetable garden a place for growing fruit and vegetables, or a vacant plot earmarked for property development?

The installation is situated in Bonrepòs i Mirambell, on one of the vacant plots bordering the urban environment. The proposal invites reflection on the vegetable garden as a space for food production in contrast to the dynamics of the property market. Brick, a traditional local material and a symbol of urban development pressure, is used to create walls, arches and pillars that sprout like crops, representing the tension between agriculture and urbanisation. It is a minimalist installation that invites reflection and discussion on the cultural and natural value of the vegetable garden.

In collaboration with Piano Piano and Miguel Hernández
